Q:

Which expression is equivalent to $i^{233}$ ?

A) i	B) 1
C) -i	D) -1

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) i

Explanation:

We know that,

$i^{2} = - 1 i^{3} = i^{2} x i = - 1 x i = - i i^{4} = i^{2} x i^{2} = - 1 x - 1 = 1 Hence, i^{233} = i^{4 x 58 + 1} = i^{232} x i^{1} = 1 x i = i$

Q:

The respective ratio between the speed of a bike, a van and lorry is 3 : 5 : 2. The speed of the van is 250 percent of the speed of the lorry which covers 360 km in 12 hours. What is the average speed of the bike and the van together?

A) 60 kmph	B) 62 kmph
C) 64 kmph	D) 63 kmph

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 60 kmph

Explanation:

Speed of lorry = $\frac{360}{12}$ = 30 kmph

Speed of van = $\frac{250}{100} x 30$ = 75 kmph

Speed of bike = $\frac{3}{5} x 75$ = 45 kmph

Therefore, now required average speed of bike and van = $\frac{75 + 45}{2}$ = 60 kmph.

= H.C.F. of 3360, 2240 and 5600 = 1120.

Sum of digits in N = ( 1 + 1 + 2 + 0 ) = 4

Q:

From a container of wine, a thief has stolen 15 litres of wine and replaced it with same quantity of water. He again repeated the same process. Thus, in three attempts the ratio of wine and water became 343 : 169. The initial amount of wine in the container was:

A) 75 litres	B) 100 litres
C) 150 litres	D) 120 litres

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 120 litres

Explanation:

$\frac{w i n e (l e f t)}{w i n e (a d d e d)} = \frac{343}{169}$

It means $\frac{w i n e (l e f t)}{w i n e (i n i t i a l a m o u n t)} = \frac{343}{512}$ (since 343 + 169 = 512)

Thus, $343 x = 512 x {(1 - \frac{15}{k})}^{3}$

$\frac{343}{512} = {(\frac{7}{8})}^{3} = {(1 - \frac{15}{k})}^{3}$

$(1 - \frac{15}{k}) = \frac{7}{8} = (1 - \frac{1}{8})$

Thus the initial amount of wine was 120 liters.
